It's due to my provider restriction. Fedora's mail server looks for them 
like a spamer trying to send an email from a domain which defines (by 
SPF) though which smtp servers it can be sent.

It's a quite big mail provider and they fight hard with spam. Probably 
it won't be an option to they also due to performance issues.

Does anybody know how SourceForge deal with that? I receive mail sent 
via @users.sf.net alias without any problem.
